As part of an Amish tour of Arthur, IL, we went to a quilt show. I was expecting more traditional quilts, so was surprised at the contemporary look of many of them. The note on the one above said her daughter-in-law wanted a black and white quilt, but the quilter thought it needed the dragonflies for a little color. Her daughter-in-law did not agree, so the quilter was able to keep this one for herself! I liked the use of vintage handkerchiefs in the "tea" quilt seen in the photo below.
Sadly, many of the quilts were quite close together, so it was hard to photograph them in their entirety. We liked how the edging was "broken" in the above quilt and the trapunto design in the one below. I loved many of the black and white quilts, but also enjoyed the whimsical snow man and chicken quilts.
